9/11 victims’
remains ended
up in landfill

Partial remains from some
victims of the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks ended up in a landfill,
according to a Pentagon report released yesterday that
also revealed other blunders
at the U.S. military’s main
mortuary.
The Pentagon report said
that several portions of remains found from the attack
on the Pentagon and at the
Pennsylvania crash site of a hijacked airliner presumably
ended up in a landfill after being handed over to a private
firm.
It did not say precisely
where the remains ended up.
Retired
General
John
Abizaid, briefing Pentagon reporters on the findings of the
review of practices at the mortuary at Dover Air Force Base,
said it was unclear how many

Previous mistake
In 2006, the mortuary accidentally disposed of remains
from a crashed Navy training
aircraft as medical waste, as
opposed to giving them a
group burial.

A report says the remains
of 9/11 victims were
mishandled.

Sept. 11 victims’ partial remains were disposed of in this
manner.
“I don't know that there's
a way to find out,” Abizaid
said.
The details were disclosed
in passing in a report that focused on ways to improve
oversight and controls of the
Dover mortuary after the disclosure last year of the mishandling of remains of war
dead. REUTERS
